Does anybody out there have a 32 Chevrolet frame (2 door sedan)that can give me some measurement's? I've bought a project car from someone who cut the front portion of the frame and I'm trying to put it back. If you have one that does not have the front fenders mounted I would appreciate your help.
I don't personally have one but a guy at a local junk yard about a mile from my house has one that still runs, it's a 32 Chevy but body wise I don't know what it was its only a cowl hood and grill shell there body wise. I'm sure he'd let me take some pics and measurements. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Great to hear another Chevy is being resurrected.......post some pics of that project when you get a chance.
Front rivet 25 1/4, 2nd 25 7/16. Can't measure 3rd as the engine is there but they appear in line. Hope this helps.
Wildbill I could use some pictures of an original frontend as mine has all been remove by the previous owner. If you don't mine and its no trouble you can send them to my pm.
ned5049 your measuring across the frame which is great but what I'm looking for is front to back the distance between the rivet centers
ned5049 let me give you another forum that is a great bunch of guys is rusty bowties take a look and tell them I sent you there
I have most of a 30 Chevy roadster body that I was going to put together, but I never could find doors for it! Now I want to get rid of it if anyone is interested So many projects..so little time
62131, thanks for info on rusty bowties. Signed up. Great reading about other chevy builds. Almost thought I was alone. Been working on a 32 chassis and cowl, hood rad/grille I bought down the road from a guy who's dad had it since the war. It was a 2 door. Body was long gone. Am using a 31 coupe body I've had 3 yrs. Putting the 2 together. 3" chop, 3 1/2" channel, 35 grille, 350,4 spd, 62 chev rear, ford front and rear suspension with homemade truck arms. [smaller] Gonna be a driver! Also have a 49 chopped Merc that I've owned and built since 1985. That too is a driver. 45k miles. Holler again if ya need any more frame info or ?
you might want to check out the rusty bowtie forum, there is a place there to list items for sale also. It is made up of mostly Chevy guys
Side rails close but differences in crossmembers and wheel bases. I have a 31 and 32 with different front crossmembers and a 4th one on the 32.
